How can ancient people live without ID cards? How is it different from modern times?

We often see that in ancient TV dramas, some chivalrous people went to an inn and shouted: Stay! At this time, the bartender will take the target to the room of his choice and let him live in without even checking who it is. Didn't the ancient people need to pay for staying in the inn without registering? No matter who you take.

But is this really the case? Don't ancient people need to check if they don't have an ID card? How can ancient people live without ID cards? How is it different from modern times? Bian Xiao shows you how ancient people lived in the shop.

In fact, the ancients also needed ID cards to stay in hotels, not only needed, but also closely checked. No? Letter of introduction? You can only sleep on the road. Although ancient China could not manage household registration information, it had a complete household registration system long ago. In order to prove and distinguish the differences between people, the ancients invented? Road lead? 、? A ticket? Or? Fish character? 、? Tooth card? A waist tag to prove your identity. However, the ancient people's anti-counterfeiting technology was very poor, so forged ID cards often appeared.

Waist tags have been officially issued throughout the dynasties, similar to today's ID cards and driving licenses. People with waist tags live in hotels, while those without waist tags have to sleep on the streets. But good boys behave themselves, and bad boys have ways. I've never eaten pork, but at least I've seen pigs run, so people who have seen waist tags are thinking exactly the same thing, and they have to spend the night with Tang Priest and his disciples when they go out.

This kind of register was called in ancient times. ? Shop book? Or? Store calendar? , should be properly preserved, kept for the record, and submitted to the official inspection regularly every month. Later, the government strengthened the management of hotels, not only for the needs of public security, but also for the convenience of collecting business tax.

It turns out that in ancient times, the population management system was already perfect and the management was very strict. As far as today is concerned, it is an era of transparent information. A person's experience from birth to school to work to death is recorded with a small ID card, which not only strengthens population control, but also is convenient and fast. I have to say that the invention of ID card has brought a lot of convenience to our life.
